No folders, no tags, and no saving files one by one out of a chaotic family group chat. Novella groups your shared photos into occasions automatically.
Everybody in the group drops photos and clips in, straight from their camera roll.
Novella reads the time and place each file already carries, and clusters them into occasions.
Photos come out laid out day by day, and the album fills as more arrive.
Most photo tools were built for broadcasting to strangers, or for one person’s clutter.
Someone sends forty photos from a birthday dinner. You save every one by hand before they scroll away. A month later your camera roll is full of them, mixed in with receipts and screenshots, and nobody can find the good ones.
You make a group for your family or the people you travelled with. Everyone sends to the same album. It clusters the photos into occasions and lays them out by day, and nobody has to curate anything.
Turn the album into a private web page and send the link. Grandparents and cousins open it in a browser and see the photos — and nothing else. No group, no members, no way in.
Photos from the morning hike stay together. Dinner stays together. No folders, no sub-albums.
Nothing to write, nothing to date, nothing to arrange. The order is the order they were taken in.
Photos are kept exactly as they came off the phone, at full resolution. Videos keep their picture and sound, up to 1080p.
No likes, no follower counts, no feed deciding what you see. Only the people you invited.
